The Tennessee man who is accused of a double murder punished to death in the electric chair using a rare method rather lethal injection. In the last five years, the convict named Edmund Zagorski of 63 years old was the first murderer who is sent to death by the electrocution method.

Zagorski was given death for the 1983 murders. He tempted two men in a wooded area saying he would sell them marijuana. Two weeks later, the bodies of the victims were found shot slit from throats. The US Supreme Court denied the 11th-hour appeal for saving his life.

He added, “It says a lot about the failures of lethal injection as a method of execution that a prisoner would opt for a method he considers to be a half-minute of torture instead of one he considers to be 18 minutes of torture”.
